Hi,
Please reconsider the "deprecated" instructions about vbmeta :
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
The above command SAVED me.
I was stuck in a slow motion bootloop (Pixel 5A and 4A both had this behavior) when upgrading from Android 11 to Android 12 on rooted phones with Magisk (both stable and canary versions). Even clean installs with factory reset did not stop this bootloop.
What finally did was doing a factory wipe, clean install using full factory images then rebooting into recovery (before booting into system) and selecting restart bootloader. From the bootloader (and from a PC) I used
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
then rebooted into system. Rock solid stable.
So Magisk canary evidently doesn't do anything to the vbmeta flags. I still needed to explicitly disable the verfication settings.
Then I happily installed Magisk canary, configured the Zygist/Denylist, systemless hosts, and safety-net-fix 2.2.1.
All good, all stable.
